About Me

I've been called intense, a dreamer, a goober, 24 going on 40 going on 12, overanalytical, determined, and ridiculous but you can just call me 'MO'. I'm a fur wearing vegeterian, an actor who hates public speaking. I'm trying to create more, think less, laugh more, and walk barefoot whenever I get the chance. I am blessed with amazing friends who challenge and inspire me. I was spoiled by bedtime stories growing up, which has spoiled me w/ an overimagination and intolerance for people who don't tell of themselves. Someone called me an open mystery once, and i think that probably best sums it up because even I don't know what's going on up there.
